Woman charged with trying to hire hit man to kill her baby's father

A Lake City woman is charged with trying to hire someone to kill her baby's father.

According to the Anderson County Sheriff's Department, Teresa Dawn Wright, 42, was arrested around 8:30 pm Wednesday night at a fast food restaurant on Seivers Boulevard.

Investigators were told that Wright was looking for someone to kill the father of her 4 month old son. She allegedly wanted him dead before an upcoming court appearance to discuss visitation, custody, and child support.

The Anderson Co. Sheriff's Office contacted the TBI, and they worked together to get her in contact with an undercover TBI agent.

The agent met with Wright Wednesday night, where she offered to trade her 2001 Chevrolet Cavalier for the death of the man. She was arrested and charged with solicitation of murder and is currently in the Anderson County Detention Facility.
